I do want a scheme to archive some of my code and test results for audio processing toys that I am playing with. zip just doesn't work for audio files. If I get a 5:1 compression, I would be happy (if there weren't any artifacts.) So, sorry if anyone takes my criticism as "being negative." I have been perhaps using the "wrong tool", but also trying to get by with it :-)... Frankly, I am impressed, especially with the very low bandwidth that some of these schemes can handle. John
